I purchased a used truck off the neighbour of a friend. I live overseas and the friend decided that he could give the truck a whizz over before I got up there. The truck had been sitting for a while and needed a good overall tidy up inside and out. So he went nuts and even vacuumed the interior, cleaned the dash, seats and carpets and removed all the evidence of mouse crap from the interior and under the hood. So once all done to his satisfaction he fired up the truck and starts checking all the switches. He got to the magic A/C button. When activated this button (it seems) has the ability to empty the contents of the A/C piping into the cabin, turns out the mice had a house made of paper and crap. Inside the truck looked like someone had set off a confetti bomb. I understand the language used made the local Marine Gunny take notes. His wife rushed downstairs thinking he was dying and unfortunately forgot to retrieve the camera, due to a pair of painful sides from laughing.

All details for bringing firearms in are on the WAPC website and should contain links to the Pistol NZ website. Please note: Pistol NZ is not hosting the match (just helping out with some details) any correspondence concerning the match must not directed to them. They are their to facilitate the import of firearms for the match and only that at this stage. www.wapc2016.com

Sponsorship was down about $100K from 2014

That's not fair. Terry has a head start over everybody.

No, say it isn't so.

Those travelling (especially from overseas) may not have brought enough ammo or laid in suitable supplies of components for correct ammo.

Both, We may have to have an official opening of the Embassy at some stage. Let you know when.

Springsteen just rocked up and played Purple Rain at his last concert. All class.

Q. What is like living in North Korea? A. Can't complain!

We did not avoid the Zombie Apocalypse, they guessed the date wrong.

The money ran out. 30 years just gone. I am not sure what they meant, but, someone mentioned she would have been out by now if she had killed me back then! My Mum and Dad are about to kick over 56years.

Dave, No such thing as a factory gun in Open or Metallic. You can chop chunks of a block of steel and put your name on it and it is legal. There is a minimum number to be made for production and there was in Standard Class years ago. I thought it was 1000 if a US based company and 500 if not, very happy to be corrected on any of that. Russel, Wont get that sorted for this Cup, but have plans drawn for next years (if there is one ) .

Goodness, really, surely not, no!

On the Barricade Coatsie calls it GLF, Grip Like F$%#. Remember 48x's is not life and death, it is far more important than that. Works every time for Open, However for metallic, the grip should be the same for standing as using the barricade. You have to have control of the gun, without gripping so tight you are shaking. Just use the barricade for support, to stabilize the gun quickly before you shoot the next shot. Press against, not too firmly and not too floppy, but located well, do not try and drive the barricade forward too hard as this makes the gun come back and usually up too quickly as you release the stored energy (spring) you induced into the barricade. Newton wins again. Don't fight the barricade, just use it to your advantage. Bit like the Force.

Just what I was thinking. Or make a new gun up. Or seeing as they usually can't tell the difference between crap and smelly clay, don't tell them anything.

Kevin, Lets for 5 minutes pretend that I like to stir it up a little. Earlier versions of what became the 1911 did not have Grip Safeties, the Grip Safety was added by one department of the Military, just in case someone did not take a proper grip of the firearm when used under pressure. Making a "1911" style frame without the grip safety would be more like the original design than not. In fact the 1905 was modified for the second round of testing as it was originally sent in without the grip safety and passed all tests in that configuration, the only other US company to get through also did not have a grip safety, Savage 1905, but was at least a high cap gun in 32 and 38. Simply the 1911 is a derivative of the 1902, which is the original 38ACP cartridge handgun (that which we tend to use) and then the 1905 (which was called the 1905 Military Model 45ACP). I would be dead keen on writing down that my handgun is a 1902 / 05 instead of 1911, actually mine is so far from the mechanical operation of a 1911, it really is a new design. Considering the constant flow of modifications since 1898 when Mr Browning first put carbon to papyrus for what would become the 1902, I am not sure that we can really call it a 1911 style handgun at all really. In reality what we use and what the NRA say is a 1911, has about as much resemblance to a 1911 as a current style NASCAR race car does to the road going vehicle it reputedly looks like. So other than the high capacity mags, wide plastic grip frame, ambi safety, wide long metal rail system, barrel location device, barricade wings, scope mount, mover base, prone pad, compensator, extended ejector, my gun look just like a Military Issue 1911. You can barely tell them apart. My next project was to be a fully integrated grip enhancer / main spring housing, with Italian style adjustable mainspring screw. So I have a modern iteration of Colt 1905 in 38Super, prove otherwise.

A Non-Immigrant Alien is generally considered someone entering the USA on a Temporary Visitors Visa, of one description or another. Who is a non-immigrant alien? (NIA) A non-immigrant alien is an alien in the United States in a non-immigrant classification as defined by section 101(a)(15) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15). Generally, "non-immigrant aliens" are tourists, students, business travelers, and temporary workers who enter the U.S. for fixed periods of time; they are lawfully admitted aliens who are not lawful permanent residents. [27 CFR 478.11] What is an alien number or admission number? An alien number is a unique 7, 8, or 9 digit number assigned to a non-citizen by the Department of Homeland Security upon the creation of a file. An admission number is the number on a CBP Form I–94 or CBP Form I–94W, the arrival/departure form Customs and Border Protection (CBP) gives most non-immigrant aliens when they arrive in the U.S. While most non-immigrant aliens will automatically receive an admission number when they enter the U.S., Canadians will not. However, if a Canadian asks a CBP official for an admission number when he or she enters the United States, he or she will be given an admission number. What documentation does an alien need to show U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) when entering the United States with a firearm? When entering the United States, an alien must show CBP both the approved Form 6 NIA (5330.3D) permit, and if admitted to the United States under a non-immigrant visa, appropriate documentation demonstrating you fall within an exception to the non-immigrant alien prohibition. [27 CFR 478.120] Now this is the important one. May a non-immigrant alien who has been admitted to the United States under a non-immigrant visa possess a firearm or ammunition in the United States? An alien admitted to the United States under a non-immigrant visa is prohibited from shipping, transporting, receiving, or possessing a firearm or ammunition unless the alien falls within one of the exceptions provided in 18 U.S.C. 922(y)(2), such as: a valid hunting license or permit, admitted for lawful hunting or sporting purposes, certain official representatives of a foreign government, or a foreign law enforcement officer of a friendly foreign government entering the United States on official law enforcement business. [18 U.S.C. 922(g)(5)( and 922(y)(2); 27 CFR 478.11 and 478.32] You will note that I underlined "such as". There are I believe up to 20 other categories and or reasons that may apply. In the first instance contact the ATF, secondly, consult legal counsel, which I believe you are going through that right now. If you import them for a competition, hunting permit etc and that hunt or competition is concluded you have no legal right to remain in the US with those firearms, as the firearms were imported specifically for that event and now it has concluded it would be expected for you to leave with the firearms within a reasonable time frame. I know this as I stayed on in the USA after Bianchi 2007 for an extra 3 weeks and traveled with my firearms for that 3 weeks, it was noted as we left that we were here "quite a while past the end of the match" The examples on the ATF website are not the be all and end all of what may be required of you. In fact there may be a way for the firearms to be brought over for you to use as there are exceptions. This will depend on the length of stay under your entry visa, what work you are conducting, and what State you are going to be residing in. Once you are in the US, you may be required to get a local drivers license (for insurance purposes) to maintain your employment status. Once a resident of many States for in excess of 60, 90 or 120 days, and proof of said residency, you are entitled to certain rights. One of which may be covered by the 2nd Amendment. A law passed by Mr Clinton in 1996 which came into effect in 2006 (quietly and under the radar) created the current issues with NIA's. But as you will be resident, not necessarily, immigrant, parts of that law are awkward to negotiate. I have done considerable research on what you can and can't buy / possess whilst temporarily (short or long) in the USA. But as you intend to import for your long term personal use, and not for a specific competition / hunt / training / or employment that requires a firearm, that places you in a difficult position. Hopefully this helps.

Not too loud, they might hear you.

For Production and Metallic you may use one or two gloves at the shooters discretion when shooting barricade or any other match, BUT, you must wear the same amount of gloves throughout that whole match. If you start with gloves one or two you finish with gloves one or two. Said gloves must not extend down the arm or form any type of artificial support to the hadns or arms. Baseball batter gloves (and similar) with an elastic stap to prevent the glove from slipping up the hand are considered legal, as they usually do not extened support past the knuckle of the wrist. Anything that is laced, taped or straped up the arm past the knuckle will be considered not legal (Boxing Glove Style).

Ouch, been there done that, and will do it again. Magazines have the same ability.

I know it takes cash to run an event, but not taking goodies means that the money is not for prizes. It is going into the consolidated account. Some in cash and some in prizes means they are running the shoot and trying for it not to cost them a bunch, but still offer decent prizes to entice us plebs.

I took mine out completely. Just don't trust the idiot using it.

A number of issues. Page 3. Competitor meeting? What day, I will assume Tuesday at this stage. Opening Ceremony was usually right before actual shooting begins. Looks like we have 30 minutes before first competitor is due to shoot to sort crap out. Really? Page 14: D-4 © Dropped gun, nothing about unloaded firearm. Are we back to the old rules. I know of a couple of guys who would have loved this 3 or 4 years back. (d) Gloves, must be worn during the whole event, does that mean (if you use a glove for metallic on the barricade) just abrricade or through all 4 matches? Sponsors: No Smith & Wesson, Glock or Zero?? WTF More or less to come.

In general I think the Magnum SP primer is more like the regular SR primer. In the case of Federal they used to be called Small Rifle (#200) and what is now Small Rifle (#205) was called the Small Rifle Magnum. #100 Small Pistol is reccommended for all pistol applications exccept hot 357Magnum, 357Sig and similar Major IPSC loads, essentially what it used to be for. #200 Hot IPSC loads per above. #205 All Small Primer required rifle loads #200 used to be reccommended for 22Hornet, 221Fireball and 222Rem and similar rifle loads, plus could be used for Pistol Loads using powders like WW680, 296, IMR4227 etc. But in the end most people just used the slightly hotter and harder #205 for all of that. Today if I was running a tuned up IPSC Open Gun then I would look to the #200 with it's slightly softer cup than the #205 to ensure a good strike from a lightened up firecontrol in an Open Gun. Some used them in 40S&W Major in a similar way. For 9mm Major to hide the excessive pressure that it uses many seem wedded to the #205. The above only relates to Federal as I am more familiar with their numbering system and intent of use. CCI works pretty much the same as far as I can tell from limited testing but they are slightly harder in the cup, but appear to burn and produce velocities very similar to the Federal, they are owned by the same company, so some cross over will occur. But my tuned 686 revolver does not like the CCI SP Primers at all. Just a little to hard for 100% reliability.

I have been advised that all ATK (CCI and Federal) went up from the factory 1st January and the increased prices are now running through the system.
